March 2016The Scourge
by Keen Butterworth
Jake Battle is minding his own business, just fishing, when he follows the squawking of ravens and magpies to find the body of a beautiful woman, wife of a local ranch owner who is also one of the richest men in the country.When the fatal slug is dug out of her, everyone in Clark City, Montana, knows there's only one gun around that could have fired it, the rifle of Jake's friend, Carlton Heavy-Eagle."Don't get mixed up in this mess," Jake's girlfriend, Gwen, tells him. "You can't tell what's going on." But Jake is too mixed up in it already. The path he follows to clear his friend leads to tales of gang violence, wanton sex, cocaine smuggling, and the mysterious Scourge -- a man monstrous in size and ugliness.In his debut novel, author Keen Butterworth has painted a vivid portrait of both man and nature as Jake -- haunted by his past in Vietnam, soothed by the love he shares with Gwen -- pursues a dangerous manhunt amid the rugged beauty of the northern Rockies.

The ArtsNovember 2017Vivien Leigh
Actress and icon
by Kate Dorney, Maggie B. Gale
This edited volume provides new readings of the life and career of iconic actress Vivien Leigh (1913-67), written by experts from theatre and film studies and curators from the Victoria & Albert Museum, London. The collection uses newly accessible family archives to explore the intensely complex relationship between Vivien Leigh's approach to the craft of acting for stage and screen, and how she shaped, developed and projected her public persona as one of the most talked about and photographed actresses of her era. With key contributors from the UK, France and the US, chapters range from analyses of her work on stage and screen to her collaborations with designers and photographers, an analysis of her fan base, her interior designs and the 'public ownership' of Leigh's celebrity status during her lifetime and beyond.

Children's & YASeptember 2020Butterfly Brain
by Laura Dockrill | Illustrated by Gwen Millward
If Roald Dahl had written A MONSTER CALLS . . . Everyone is always shouting at Gus to stop leaning back in his chair – but does he care? No way! Then sure enough, the chair falls, he cracks his head and has to spend all summer in bed. Out of the crack escape his memories, dreams and imagination . . . and a beautiful little butterfly guide. Gus must follow the butterfly to recapture all he’s lost – including that locked box he doesn’t seem to want to touch . . . Together they remember fish fingers, snapping bubble wrap, cracked pink soap and the leaky tap; they go wild, stomping around in the joy of imagination and happy dreams – but they can’t go any further if Gus won’t gather all of his memories. His butterfly will die unless Gus is ready to hear about his mum . . . A delightful and moving exploration of grief and the joy of all that makes us human, from the sparkling voice of Laura Dockrill, with heartwarming full-colour illustrations from Gwen Millward.
